The driving distance between Knoxville, TN and Nashville, TN is approximately 180 miles. The driving time would be approximately 3 hours if you were to travel non-stop in goodâ¦ driving conditions.
If you have a thrown rod, you will have a loud rhythmic banging noise that changes frequency with the engine RPM speed. The sound will be quite like the sound when banging two hammers together. You will also have extremely low or no oil pressure.
so after pulling the engine apart and getting to the thrown rod in my 85 300sd, I examined the rod, and the stud that is set into the rod and threaded for the nut seems to be gone. the rod's pretty mangled, but I can see all the way thru the hole where it ought to be.
